The Democratic Republic of Aurelieaux is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 663 million Akakonoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Spirituality are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eekear C'rrt'me. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Aurelieauxian economy, worth 20.0 trillion Valor Aures a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. Average income is 30,203 Valor Aures, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sleazy politicians exploit the Parliamentary Code of Conduct to purge their rivals, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, Aurelieaux's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, and the endangered saltwater humpback Toucan is only seen in captivity programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aurelieaux's national animal is the Toucan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Aurelieaux is ranked 279,206^th in the world and 3,784^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.55 flags saluted per person per day.
